Watch how smart slime mold in this ‘slime lapse’ video

In studying various types of molds (fungi), I have come to the conclusion that many these tiny organisms are not only one of the most deadly on earth, they are also one of the most intelligent as in the case of this slime mold.

Researchers are now finding out that even though these blobs lack brains, they make up for with surprisingly complex decision-making such as communicating with one another, and deciding what direction to take and what part of a plant should they eat first.

What I also found interesting in this video is that the researchers discovered that this slime mold is inflating and deflating itself about every minute. Many of us know that in mold illnesses, inflammation is a huge factor for many people. My theory is that this inflating and deflating may be a clue as to why mold causes inflammation in the body.
